The engine replied, "Are you Sir Top Ham Hatt's engine?". Donald sad yes, and he asked him why he was at the smelters yard, he replied that he was going to be scraped. Donald told the engine(Oliver), that he would save him. before they got out of the yard, the guard stopped them, but let them go by. They soon reached the works, Oliver stayed there and was repaired. The next morning, Donald told the other engines all about his adventure. The engines thought it was time they need another engine. Sir Top Ham Hatt said that Oliver and his brake van(Toad), would work on the railway.

Review

The word for this episode is scary, for younger children that is. This is a popular episode for wooden railway remakes on You Tube. it seems that in the new series, there isn't a Other Railway anymore, all there is, is the Diesel Works. Over all, I didn't really enjoy this episode.

Over all I give this episode a 7/10
